In a closed door meeting in 2007, Senator Barack Obama boasted that his judgment in foreign policy was “better than any other candidate in this race, Republican or Democrat.” Obama’s statement includes then-rivals Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
As the unraveling of President Obama’s foreign policy becomes a campaign issue in 2012, it’s worth recalling the unbridled arrogance that may have contributed to recent disasters.
He also claims the foreign policy experience of visiting Indonesia and Pakistan for two weeks on a summer trip while a college student.
Apparently, President Obama believed that living in Indonesia and going to school from age six to ten made him more qualified than any other candidate. His theory, stated over and over, was that understanding "the people" was the single most important factor in successful foreign affairs. The bloody results of his foreign policy judgment would seem to indicate this theory was dangerously wrong.
It's hard to believe that he managed to convince millions of Americans to make this narcissistic moron our President.
